After his escape to the waking world went terribly awry, Ruin finds himself face to face with his creator, Dream…and Dream is not happy. Is there any force in this world that could stop him from unmaking his most unpredictable creation?
G. Willow Wilson's journey into The Dreaming concludes as Lindy's story comes to an end, but it's only the beginning of Ruin's journey. I loved how this story arc concludes. The final conversation that Dream has with Ruin is both philosophical and truthful. In short, Ruin is given free roaming rights to pass between The Dreaming and Waking Worlds. Lord Dream has given him the license to go and find his true love. This gift comes with a warning. A warning that will make the future adventures of Ruin that be more interesting. Read Full Review
Nick Robles delivers some amazing imagery in this issue. There are so many great visual moments throughout especially with Lindy. The page where Ruin manifests his power is brilliantly done. Read Full Review

Looking forward to Javier Rodriguez art next time.
A good issue.
This was a pretty good ending. I hope the rest of this series continues to interest me.
The story was okay but I don’t particularly care about Lindy and Ruin and their adventures in the Dreaming and the Waking World.
